The XX will be at Merriweather Post Pavilion, June 15.
Summer is in full-swing. All of the outdoor amphitheaters are coming alive and we’re getting some pretty good shows out of it. Speaking of amphitheaters, Wolf Trapp has really stepped its game up this year. Yeah, there is still a lot of old folks’ music, but the quality is different than previous years and it does seem like they have made a conscience effort to inject some youth into their calendar this summer. Check out this week’s shows below.

Rock the Bells festival returns to D.C.
In honor of the touring hip-hop festival’s 10th anniversary, Rock the Bells will pull into D.C.’s RFK Festival Grounds, September 28-29.
This will mark the festival’s triumphant return to the D.C. market after a two-year hiatus. The festival had become a summer staple at Merriweather Post Pavilion, but after Lauryn Hill nearly derailed the entire show in 2010, the touring mega-fest has not returned.
This year, Rock the Bells is back at a bigger venue for two days, and the initial artists announcement is enough to have us sold: Wu-Tang Clan (with an Ol’ Dirty Bastard hologram), Bone Thugs n Harmony (With an Eazy-E hologram), Black Hippy (Kendrick Lamar, Schoolboy Q, Ab-Soul and Jay Rock), Kid Cudi, Common, Tyler the Creator, Juicy J, E-40 & Too $hort, Danny Brown, Talib Kweli, Flatbush Zombies, Hopsin, Bodega Bamz and more.
